Good not great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually like the grip on this pencil. The hard rubber grip is close to the ideal thickness for me for a pencil of this nature. It doesn?t slip and isn?t too narrow. The overall construction is solid, and it feels like it won?t break in your hand. Writing is fine. The lead is standard. It doesn?t break much, goes on smoothly enough and dark enough for school or office work. Overall, the Velocity is fine. It isn?t the best mechanical pencil ever, and it has no real features, but it?s solidly and relatively comfortably built. It is fairly inexpensive and comes with enough refills of erasers and lead to last the user for some time. As far as inexpensive options go for mechanical pencils, it?s a good one, but there?s nothing special about it.

Not so great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually have my kids practice school skills over the summer so I was really excited to be able to introduce them to these BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils. We got off to a good start, my son thought they were comfortable to hold (he really liked the rubber grip) and it was easy to advance the lead. Unfortunately it was a really hard lead and when my son would press down on the page to write he would rip and tear the paper. This happened repeatedly, despite my encouraging him not to press so hard. These won't work for school work, he'd destroy all the papers! Sorry BIC, these don't work for my 10 year old son.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I let my 4th grade daughter try these out for school and they are perfect! They fit her hand amazingly. She said it is comfortable to write. The lead doesn't break easy like other mechanical pencils. The colors are vibrant. We love these pencils!!

Super Smooth and Fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a certain criteria for new pens, pencils, and markers since I am such an addict. I have developed a certain taste for all things in the stationary world. I'll start from the top, literally: I found the eraser to work really well. It does a great job of removing the lead marks completely. And white erasers are my personal favorite. The barrel size is right on. Love that. Not too chunky. I love the clear barrel, that's new. The grippy thing is really nice. It's not sticky - some of those are sticky and get gross in a dest drawer or book bag. It's nice. The mechanics of the pencil are smooth working and no really crazy difficult lead loading. The lead is smooth - and dark. It's also not fragile. I hate when the lead breaks so easily. That is a plus here - tough lead that is smooth. I gave these pencils a 5 star rating because they meet all my criteria. I love the colors these pencils come in. My sons said the colors of them were a little more for girls than boys. I split up one pack of pencils and they both really liked the blue. I would like to see a color assortment for boys. Guys love mechanical pencils in guy colors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mmm pencils! Nothing beats a good pencil. I love the satisfaction of a well sharpened pencil, but let's face it that doesn't happen often with wonky sharpeners. Enter BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils. With a pop of color, never dull lead, and a pen like quality these pencils are fantastic. They write smooth, erase well, and you can't beat the long lasting lead. Give the Velocity a whirl and be amazed.

Awesome mechanical pencils

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My oldest daughter is pencil freak when it comes to purchasing any writing utensil. She was absolutely thrilled with these. She has never tried them. She likes the way they write the fact they come with extra lead (bc kids go thru a lot of lead & I'm constantly having to buy lead or new pencils) she saved a pack for school she's in the 7th grade and she made me buy her more. Definitely worth the money especially because they come with extra lead. Thanks again bzzagent!
